Men don't understand why women
like cats
Cats-- you know, the four legged, self centered
fur shedding dog hating
noise making shitboxing
fuzzy mouse eating bird catching things?

Women love cats
they react the moment they are stroked
they make the noise that the battery operated boyfriends do.

When they choose to isolate themselves

they come back warmer, softer and sweeter

We clean their shit daily
they hit, spit, hiss, scratch, claw and
then curl in a little lump of fur on our laps
waiting for love, knowing it is there
not questioning motives
just accepting a stroke, a caress, a smile
unquestioning truth
are men any different?
